What’s new in Visio
2016Visio has updated the diagram templates so
they’re better looking and easier to use. New styles,
themes and other handy tools will help you cut the time
you spend drawing. You’ll also find more ways to work
together on Visio diagrams, along with new commenting
features, that enable real-time coauthoring on diagrams.
Updated diagram templatesNew shapes and content
Several diagram templates have been updated and
improved, including Timeline, Basic Network, Detailed
Network, and Basic Shapes. Many have new shapes and
designs, and you’ll find new and updated Containers and
Callouts.

Organization chartThe organization
chart template has new shapes and styles designed
specifically for org charts. Plus, it’s much easier to
add pictures to all the employee shapes at once.

UML and Database templatesThe UML template and the
Database template are easier to use and more flexible.
They now use the same drag-and-drop functionality as
most other templates, and you don’t have to set up
solution configurations beforehand.

themes and tools to cut drawing time

Format
shapes with Office Art shape effectsVisio now offers
many of the formatting options used in other Office
applications to your diagrams. Apply gradients, shadows,
3-D effects, rotations and more to your shapes.

Add a Quick Style to a shapeQuick Styles gives you
control over the way an individual shape looks, so you
can make it stand out. Select a shape, and on the Home
tab, use the Quick Styles gallery in the Shape Styles
group. Each style has a combination of colors, shadows,
reflections, and other effects.

Add variations to
themesIn addition to new themes that add color,
fonts, and effects to your diagram, Visio has Variants
for each theme. Choose a variant to apply it to the
entire page.

Duplicate an entire pageIt’s now
much simpler to make a copy of a page. Right-click the
page tab and click Duplicate.

Replace a shape
that’s already in the diagramReplacing shapes is
also easier, with a new Change Shape gallery on the Home
tab. The layout doesn’t change, and all the information
the shape contains is still there.New collaboration
and coauthoring featuresCoauthor diagrams as a team
Several people can work on a single diagram at the same
time by uploading it to SharePoint or SkyDrive. Everyone
sees what shapes are being edited in real time. Every
time you save the document, your changes are saved back
to the server and everyone else’s saved changes show up
in your diagram.

Comment on diagrams in threaded
conversationsA new commenting pane makes it easier
to add, read, reply and keep track of reviewers’
comments. Replies are easy to make and follow in comment
threads. Read or join the comments also by clicking the
comment balloons on the diagram.

Review diagrams
on the webReviewers can view and comment on
diagrams, even if they don’t have Visio installed. Use a
web browser to review diagrams that have been saved to
Office 365 or SharePoint.More improvementsUse
Visio on portable devices with improved touch support
Read, comment on, and even create diagrams on
touch-enabled tablets without a keyboard and mouse.

Use a single file format for desktop and web
Visio saves diagrams in a new file format (.vsdx) that
is the default on the desktop and for viewing in a
browser on SharePoint. You no longer have to save in a
different format for different uses. Visio also reads
and writes in .vssx, .vstx, .vsdm, .vssm, and .vstm
formats.
